  • Oct 3, 2026The Beaver Builder Page Builder – Drag and Drop Website Builder: Arbitrary shortcode executionCVE-2026-92084 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.1

    The The Beaver Builder Page Builder – Drag and Drop Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 2.11.0.5. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes. Exploitation requires the target site to have a Beaver Builder page containing the Sidebar module populated with a widget that displays attacker-controllable text, such as the core Recent Comments widget, with comment moderation disabled or the attacker's comment approved.

  • Oct 3, 2026VikAppointments Services Booking Calendar: Arbitrary file deletionCVE-2026-87115 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.1

    The VikAppointments Services Booking Calendar plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary file deletion due to insufficient file path validation in the extract function in all versions up to, and including, 1.2.21. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to delete arbitrary files on the server, which can easily lead to remote code execution when the right file is deleted (such as wp-config.php). Exploitation requires at least one File-type custom field to be published on the confirmation page shortcode, as this field is not created by default during plugin installation.

  • Oct 2, 2026Divi Membership: Privilege EscalationCVE-2026-19652 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The Divi Membership plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in versions up to, and including, 2.2.0. This is due to the `dmem_form_submit_handler()` function determining the new user's role by iterating all WordPress roles and calling `password_verify()` against an attacker-controlled bcrypt hash supplied in the `form_id` POST parameter, with no validation or whitelist of allowed roles. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register a new account with the administrator role by submitting a locally computed bcrypt hash of `administrator` as `form_id`, and when `auto_login=on` is submitted, be immediately authenticated as that administrator in the same request, resulting in full site takeover. Exploitation requires a WordPress nonce, but that nonce is publicly emitted on any page rendering the Divi Membership registration form and is therefore obtainable by any unauthenticated visitor.

  • Oct 2, 2026WPMobile.App – Android and iOS App Builder: Authorization bypassCVE-2026-94541 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The WPMobile.App – Android and iOS App Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to authorization bypass in all versions up to, and including, 11.82 This is due to the plugin not properly verifying that a user is authorized to perform an action. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to exfiltrate password-reset URLs for arbitrary users, including administrators, mirrored into the push queue by the mail-to-push feature, and use those URLs to take over the targeted accounts. This exploit chain requires the plugin's mail-to-push feature (wpmobile_auto_mail=1) to be enabled, as that setting is what causes outbound WordPress password-reset emails — including the reset URL and key — to be mirrored into the push row queue where they become accessible to the attacker.

  • Oct 2, 2026JSON API Auth: Authentication BypassCVE-2026-97637 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The JSON API Auth plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via Cached Session Cookie Disclosure in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.2. The vulnerability exists because the required PI-Media/json-api parent plugin caches controller dispatch results in transients keyed solely by URI and query string, ignoring HTTP method and POST body; this causes the `generate_auth_cookie()` endpoint — which embeds a live WordPress `logged_in` cookie produced by `wp_generate_auth_cookie()` directly in its JSON response body — to serve that cached authenticated response to any subsequent unauthenticated GET request to the same URI. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to retrieve a valid Administrator `logged_in` session cookie from the cached response and use it to fully authenticate as the site Administrator, including via the same plugin's `get_currentuserinfo` endpoint and any cookie-authenticated controller action. Exploitation requires the PI-Media/json-api parent plugin to be installed and active with the Auth controller enabled, and a legitimate Administrator must have POSTed to `/api/auth/generate_auth_cookie/` within the preceding 24-hour cache TTL;

  • Oct 2, 2026Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder: Directory TraversalCVE-2026-15896 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.1

    The Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Directory Traversal in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.316 via the parse_request function. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to read the contents of arbitrary files on the server, which can contain sensitive information. The optional 'file_upload_auth' setting defaults to empty, meaning no authentication is required in the default configuration; enabling this setting mitigates unauthenticated exploitation but does not remediate the path traversal itself. Exploitation on Linux requires a real 13-digit timestamp directory to exist, whereas on Windows the traversal works with any hardcoded 13-digit prefix. However, the plugin's file upload response returns the name of the created directory, which means the vulnerability is exploitable as long as file upload is enabled on the form.

  • Oct 2, 2026Divi Membership: Authentication BypassCVE-2026-19660 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The Divi Membership plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.0. The `process_paypal_callback` function, hooked to the `init` action, accepts a base64-encoded `paypal_param` GET parameter with no IPN validation, no cryptographic signature check, no ownership verification, and no nonce, allowing it to trust an entirely attacker-controlled user ID value that is passed directly to `wp_set_current_user()` and `wp_set_auth_cookie()`. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing WordPress user — including administrators — by supplying an arbitrary user ID in the `paypal_param` GET parameter, resulting in full site takeover. The vulnerability is further compounded by the fact that the PayPal gateway class is instantiated unconditionally regardless of whether PayPal is enabled or configured, ensuring the vulnerable hook is always registered on every front-end request.

  • Oct 2, 2026DevKit Pro: Authentication Bypass Leading to Administrator Account TakeoverCVE-2026-14378 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The DevKit Pro plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass Leading to Administrator Account Takeover in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.0 This is due to the `revert_switch` handler trusting the attacker-controlled `original_user_id` cookie as the privileged identity: `verify_nonce_and_capability()` incorrectly checks the `manage_options` capability on the user identified by the cookie rather than on the actual requester via `current_user_can()`, while the switch-back form and a valid session-bound nonce are emitted publicly via `wp_footer` to any visitor — including unauthenticated users — whenever that cookie is present. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to set the `original_user_id` cookie to any administrator's user ID, collect the rendered nonce, and POST it back to the `revert_switch` handler, causing `wp_set_auth_cookie()` to be called with the administrator's ID and granting the attacker a full administrator-level authenticated session and complete site takeover.

    The Ultimate Multisite – WordPress Multisite SaaS & WaaS Platform plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass in all versions up to, and including, 2.15.0 via the `checkout_form` parameter of the `login_customer_after_checkout` function. This is due to the publicly accessible `wu_ajax_nopriv_wu_validate_form` AJAX handler accepting a freely obtainable checkout nonce, and the `checkout_form=wu-finish-checkout` parameter causing `get_validation_rules()` to discard all validation rules while `finish_checkout_form_fields()` returns an empty step list — forcing `is_last_step()` to return true and routing the request directly into full order processing — after which `maybe_create_customer()` resolves the attacker-supplied `email_address` to an existing WordPress user ID without any authentication or ownership verification, and `login_customer_after_checkout()` calls `wp_set_auth_cookie()` for that user ID via a passwordless code path. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing WordPress user — including a Network Super Admin — simply by knowing their email address. Exploitation requires that the targeted user account has no pre-existing

    The Super Forms – Drag & Drop Form Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 6.3.316. This is due to the Register & Login add-on's before_email_success_msg() function whitelisting the client-submitted 'role' key and copying it into the user-data array that is passed directly to wp_insert_user(), without validating the submitted role against the administrator-configured register_user_role, without an allow-list, and without any current_user_can() capability check. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register a new account with the Administrator role by injecting role=administrator into the data submitted to any published Super Forms registration form (register_login_action='register').

    The BackupSheep WordPress Backup Plugin WordPress plugin through 1.8 does not properly validate its integration key, treating an unset or blank key as valid, which allows unauthenticated attackers to create and download full site backups, including the database with user password hashes, and to delete arbitrary files on the server, leading to sensitive data disclosure and site takeover.

    The The Appointment Booking Plugin – LatePoint | Calendar & Scheduling for WordPress plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to arbitrary shortcode execution in all versions up to, and including, 5.7.0. This is due to the software allowing users to execute an action that does not properly validate a value before running do_shortcode. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary shortcodes.

    The miniOrange OTP Login, Verification and SMS Notifications plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Authentication Bypass via the mo_wp_login_intent parameter in all versions up to, and including, 5.5.5. This is due to a missing password-intent guard in the skip_pass_fallback-enabled configuration branch of the mo_by_pass_login() function, which treats administrator role membership alone as sufficient authentication whenever the unauthenticated, unverified POST parameter mo_wp_login_intent is submitted with the value otp, causing mo_get_user() to skip wp_authenticate_username_password() and resolve a WP_User purely from a username lookup. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to log in as any existing administrator account by supplying only a known username and an empty password alongside mo_wp_login_intent=otp, with no password or OTP verification required. Exploitation is conditional on a site administrator having simultaneously enabled the following plugin options: WP Login OTP, Login with Only OTP, Allow Users to Login with Username and Password, and Admin OTP Bypass.

    The Request a Quote for WooCommerce plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in all versions up to, and including, 2.9.2 via the `afrfq_submit_quote_via_popup()` function. This is due to missing file extension and MIME type validation in the popup upload handler, which uses the raw attacker-supplied filename directly as the destination for `move_uploaded_file()`.

    The Bookly plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Insecure Direct Object Reference in versions up to, and including, 28.2 via the 'bookly_get_form_id', 'bookly_render_complete', 'bookly_add_to_calendar' and 'bookly_rollback_order' AJAX actions. This is due to the 'bookly_get_form_id' handler blindly storing the attacker-controlled 'order_id' from the submitted form_data into a new booking session, which the 'bookly_render_complete' handler then trusts to look up and return the corresponding Order's secret token without verifying that the current session created that order. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to enumerate sequential order IDs, disclose other customers' order tokens, retrieve calendar/appointment information via 'bookly_add_to_calendar' and permanently delete arbitrary non-completed bookings via 'bookly_rollback_order', which cascade-deletes the customer_appointment and (when no other customers are attached) the underlying appointment.

This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to permanently delete arbitrary attachments from the Media Library — including administrator-owned product images, logos, and documents — by injecting their IDs into a review that is later trashed and purged. Exploitation requires a public review-form link (a 13-hex formId distributed to customers via e-mail), which exposes the nonce needed to reach the handler without any WordPress account or session.

  • Sep 25, 2026Automation Web Platform – Notifications and OTP for WooCommerce, Advanced Country Code: Privilege EscalationCVE-2026-14281 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The Automation Web Platform – Notifications and OTP for WooCommerce, Advanced Country Code plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 4.8.6. This is due to missing permission enforcement on the publicly accessible REST route `POST /wp-json/wawp/v1/signup/<op>` and the absence of a key allowlist in the `finish_registration_logic` function, which copies the attacker-controlled `wawp_custom_fields` parameter directly into `update_user_meta()` — allowing sensitive meta keys such as `wp_capabilities` and `wp_user_level` to be set by the caller. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register a new account with the administrator role and gain full administrative access to the site. When OTP verification is enabled at signup, the OTP session token (`otp_transient`) is returned in plaintext in the HTTP response body, and the `handle_magic_link_request()` handler marks that token as verified on any unauthenticated GET request containing it without ever checking the OTP code value — making the OTP step trivially bypassable with no inbox or SMS access required.

    The Visual Composer Website Builder plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Local File Inclusion in all versions up to, and including, 45.16.0 via the `vcv-template` parameter. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to include and execute arbitrary files on the server, allowing the execution of any PHP code in those files. This can be used to bypass access controls, obtain sensitive data, or achieve code execution in cases where images and other “safe” file types can be uploaded and included.

  • Sep 23, 2026Paytium: Mollie payment forms & donations: Privilege EscalationCVE-2026-18467 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The Paytium: Mollie payment forms & donations plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation in all versions up to, and including, 5.0.3. The 5.0.3 patch introduced a wp_hash()/hash_equals() signature gate on the pt-paytium-user-data field, but left a second filter — pt_cf_checkout_meta(), registered on the pt_meta_values hook after the signed builder — that copies every $_POST['pt_form_field'][*] key verbatim into the payment meta array without any signature verification; this allows the pt-user-role value it copies to overwrite the signed path's output, after which paytium_user_data_processing() reads the persisted _pt-user-role post meta and passes it directly as the role argument to wp_insert_user(). This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to register a new WordPress account with the administrator role and fully take over the site. Exploitation requires submitting a payment through a publicly-exposed [paytium] shortcode form and completing the resulting payment flow, after which the attacker can seize the new administrator account via the standard lost-password flow on their supplied email address.

    The WP OAuth Server ( Login with WordPress ) WordPress plugin before 6.4.0 does not bind the OpenID Connect identity assertion it issues to the authorization grant being exchanged, returning instead the assertion belonging to whichever user authenticated most recently, which allows users with the Subscriber role and above to obtain a validly signed identity assertion for another user, including an administrator, and authenticate as them at any application that uses the site for single sign-on.

  • Sep 22, 2026Give Tributes: PHP Object InjectionCVE-2026-19658 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The Give Tributes plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to PHP Object Injection in all versions up to, and including, 2.3.1 via deserialization of untrusted input . This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to inject a PHP Object. No known POP chain is present in the vulnerable software, which means this vulnerability has no impact unless another plugin or theme containing a POP chain is installed on the site. If a POP chain is present via an additional plugin or theme installed on the target system, it may allow the attacker to perform actions like delete arbitrary files, retrieve sensitive data, or execute code depending on the POP chain present. This vulnerability is only reachable when the "Allow Multiple Recipients" option is enabled for the donation form, as the single-recipient code path applies sanitize_textarea_field() which would neutralize the payload. Exploitation additionally requires the eCard "Custom Message" option to be disabled, which is the plugin default: when it is enabled the personalized message becomes a required field and GiveWP's give_clean() blanks serialized input during validation, causing the donation to be rejected before it is stored.

  • Sep 22, 2026Meta Box AIO: Privilege Escalation to AdministratorCVE-2026-13355 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The Meta Box AIO plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Privilege Escalation to Administrator in versions up to, and including, 3.11.0. This is due to a chained flaw: the populate_via_query_string() function in the mb-frontend-submission component unconditionally overrides the form's target object_id from the GET parameter 'rwmb_frontend_field_object_id' without any authorization check, and Form::process() lacks the user_can_edit() check present in render(), allowing unauthenticated attackers to overwrite the post_content of any page with an arbitrary shortcode via wp_update_post(); the mb-user-profile component then directly trusts the 'role' and 'auto_login' shortcode attributes in the injected [mb_user_profile_register] shortcode with no role validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to elevate their privileges to Administrator. The standalone plugins Meta Box Frontend Submission (in versions up to 4.5.6) and Meta Box User Profile (versions up to 3.11.0) are also affected.

  • Sep 18, 2026WP Recipe Maker: Arbitrary Shortcode ExecutionCVE-2026-89274 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.1

    The WP Recipe Maker plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary Shortcode Execution in all versions up to, and including, 10.8.1. The vulnerability exists because `WPRM_Metadata::sanitize_metadata()` recursively calls `do_shortcode()` on every scalar field of the recipe's structured metadata array — including the `reviewBody` field, which is populated verbatim from the `comment_content` of approved `wprm-comment-rating` comments — without sanitizing or stripping shortcode tokens before execution; the subsequent `wp_strip_all_tags()` and `strip_shortcodes()` calls operate only on the output string after execution has already fully occurred, providing no protection against server-side shortcode invocation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to execute arbitrary registered WordPress shortcodes server-side on every recipe page render, causing shortcode output — such as attachment captions, private post fields, or other data exposed by installed shortcodes — to be embedded in the page's JSON-LD `reviewBody` metadata and disclosed to all visitors who load the recipe page. Successful exploitation requires the attacker's rated comment to pass the site's comment approv

  • Sep 18, 2026Gravity Forms: Arbitrary File UploadCVE-2026-84434 · WordPress plugins & themes · reported by WordfenceCritical 9.8

    The Gravity Forms plugin for WordPress is vulnerable to Arbitrary File Upload in all versions up to, and including, 3.1.0.4 via the upload_file function. This is due to a mismatch between the field validation pipeline and the file persistence pipeline, where hidden file upload fields bypass extension validation and a rejected file's intact upload state is later passed to upload_file() without re-validation. This makes it possible for unauthenticated attackers to upload files that may be executable, which makes remote code execution possible. Exploitation requires the targeted form to contain a File Upload field with its Visibility set to 'Hidden'; the vulnerability is reachable by unauthenticated attackers on any publicly accessible form meeting this condition.
